[QUOTE="Kooz7, post: 1561298, member: 90585"] I used 200gr 300wsm factory loaded XLD-X on two cow elk last year , 220yds and 240yds , both bullets completely disintegrated . One cow was shot behind the front shoulder, one cow was shot at the base of the neck . Didn't recover either bullet , just kept coming across small bits and pieces of jacket while field dressing them . The cow that was shot at the base of the neck had more bloodshot meat than I have ever seen , it was just an unreal amount . There was only very shallow penetration on the neck shot cow and although she was incapacitated , she required a finishing shot . Used 3006 ELD-X 178gr factory loaded on 4 antelope this year 2 at 300yds 1 at 394yds and one at 504yds, all bullets shed their jacket which I recovered the in the animal when field dressing . The ELD-X ammo is very accurate , I will give it that , but performance on game was not so good . I will stick to Accubonds , been using them for years and never had a problem, toughest bullet I have used so far . [/QUOTE]
